A Williams College cadet has been
driven insane by hazing. The often
ders will be expelled, but it is quite
time to ask whether hazing is not an
oifense of which cognizance should
be taken by the criminal law of the
state in which it is committed.
The habit of hazing is thorough
ly reprehenslble and severe rules
ought to be adopted to prohibit it in
all Of our schools and public insti-
buttons. 1t is great fun to be the
perpetrators while in the act of do.
ing it, but when such results as the
above follow it is a great source of
regret. The Baltimore american
of to-day chronicles the death of a
little girl who was frightened into
paralysis by BOY, with a hideous
false-face. 1t was intended as fun,
but proved serious fun at last. Let
it be prohibited under severer penal
ties than the rule of an institution.
1t is a good subject for legislation.

her maids child, was guillotined at 5
O'Clock this morning. He made no con-
fession. Vast crowds waited about the
place of execution during the night and
kept up constant bowling and yelling.
The din was horrible. When the chap
lain, who was to oficiate at the execu-
ton, arrived at 4:30 A. NJ, the mass of
people was so great that he was almost
prevented from reaching the gate of the
prison. Pranzini marched from his cell
TO the scaffold with firm step
and defiant air. When the execution
ers seized him, the murderer resisted
and fought desperately, demanding that
they let him alone. The executioners
oyerpowered him and threw him upon
the machine and in an instant had him
securely bound. Immediately the ter
rible knife was started. 1t descended
with horrible slowness at first, but
then it's movement quickened and the
head of the murderer relied into the

CLEANED OUT A BANK.

A Clerk Gets Away with Over a Quarter of
aMilIion-Sharp Work for Boy Cash
Ter.
SAco, Me-, Aug. 31.-The biggest SEN
sation Saco has ever experienced, devel-
oped this morning when it was leaned
that the Saco and Biddeford Savings In
stitution had seriously suffered fnan-
cially through young clerk who has alb
seconded. Frank G. McNeilly, 10 years
old, who has been employed in the bank
about one year, has mysteriously disap-
peared, taking with him $4,000
in cash, United States regis
tered 4 per cent. bonds, payable in
1907, amount $1S5, 600, and railroad, mu-
nicipal and other bonds amounting as
near as can now be determined, to about
SOL 900. Though he left town Monday
afternoon, yet bank officers and family
have kept the matter SO quiet that the
news did not leak out until this morn
ing. Great excitement prevails here,
as McNeilly was considered one of the
most trustworthy Young menin the city.
President, trustees and cashier placed
the greatest confidence in him. He was
every lock in the bank vaults.
Cashier Melville II. Kelly is also treas
urer of the Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany. Monday afternoon loss wa- re-
ported by fire at KennebunE, Kelly
went to view the ruins, leaving Frank
McNeilly to finish up the days accounts.
When Kelly opened the bank Tuesday
morning. he found Mondays accounts
were not completed. President Goodale
was notified and the entire afternoon
was spent examining the contents of the
safe. Considerable time had been con-
sumed before the theft was detected. A
large amount of gold and currency which
McNeilly could easily have stolen was
unmolested.
President Goodale was interviewed this
morning. He says the loss is so much
less than the surplus that the bank will
De perfectly safe, even if the amount
taken by the absconding clerk is never
recovered. The $185,000 in United
States registered bonds cannot possibly
be used by the thief. The bank state
ment of last May placed the surplus at a
little over $4,000. Treasurer Kelly has
posted notice outside of the bank stating
that the bank is safe and that depositors
need feel no alarm.
Bank Examiner Richards is expected
to arrive to-day and detectives have
been engaged and sent in all directions.
A dozen OF McNeilly's photographs have
been found in bank drawer and have
been placed in the hands of detectives.
McNeilly is feet IL inches tall, weighs
AS pounds, has dark hair, smooth face,
fair complexion, and stands very erect
when walking. He is of good figure and
would be called handsome. When he
left he had on a light mixed coat, dark
worsted pants, congress shoes. The
ticket agent at the Boston and Maine
station at Biddeford is positive that Nc
Nelly bought ticket there Monday but
does not remember the destination.

Working for a Cheap Meal.

A downtown restaurant keeper in
New York City the other day discov.
cred q novelty in petty swindling. He
said:
SIN q walk down the room between
the tables happened by accident to
notice that a certain regular custom
or had q thirty-tive cent layout be-
fore him. When he came to the desk
here to pay he rendered a twenty
cent check. quietly named over the
dishes he had had, and without q
word he paid the bill and went out.
Then I called up the waiter who had
served him, and was going to dis
charge him for giving wrong check,
but he brought the head waiter to
prove that he had put the right one
on the table. At that a waiter from
another part O. the room came to
the desk on an errand and overheard
what We were talking about, and at
once was able to tell how the custom
or got the twenty cent check.
This waiter had served him with a
twenty cent lunch the day before.
When the young man had eaten it he
called for check, which was given
him, although the waiter was sure he
had already given him one. The Gus.
toner stole the first check in order to
get a big lunch the next day for q
small price. When the walters got
their heads together and talked it
over they concluded that for month
the customer had had three big meals

ate ones at full price,"
